Description
saw this error message today:
Build Failed: ImageBuild: failed to compute cache key: failed to walk /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount211895055/build/snapshot_frontend: lstat /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount211895055/build/snapshot_frontend: no such file or directory
this should be cleaned up a bit better

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported BuildKit image-build failure and tracing where Tilt surfaces the raw cache-key and lstat error. No source file or test is named in the issue, so locate the image-build error-handling entry point and its related tests. Done means the same failure produces a shorter, clearer message without exposing temporary paths.
